I want to qualify for states in my last meet for the mile. I need a 4:42 mile. My last mile I ran was a 4:58 (my PR) about 10 days ago. Since then I've done a good amount of workouts and raced in a 4x800 (I got a 2:10). So I have a meet next week where I'll be running the two mile, and then the week after that on Thursday is the mile. Reading this over now I'm realizing 4:42 is most likely impossible, but how low do you guys think I can get? Thanks
don't do any more workouts. you've probably already done too much. just do some 200's and 400's and try to stay rested, but that is a massive jumphow old are you?i think this is a good range of times for each yr of high school to be a great runner. i ran 4:55 and 2:07 split (2:09 open) my freshman yr and 4:24 and 1:55 flat my senior yr:freshman 4:50-5:10soph - 4:35-4:45junior - 4:25-4:40senior - 4:20-4:35

I think I would run an 800 instead of that 2 mile and then mostly run recovery and some easy sharpening workouts before your 4:41 mile. (4:41)

That's odd. as a freshman in hs i ran 2:05 800. I didn't run the mile - because I sucked at it - but my PR at that time was 5:45. To be fair, I ended up as a 100 runner.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
